Ms. Clare Short
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the number of tax units where the main source of income is self-employment income in each year since 1983–84.
Mr. Norman Lamont
[pursuant to his reply, 25 March 1987, c. 215]: The number of tax units (single people or married couples) where the main source (usually the largest source) of income was self-employment income was about 2·10 million in 1983–84 and 2·26 million in 1984–85, the latest year for which information is available.
